In the Words of our Monterey Guests

We were seated on their large and open patio on a sunny day. Very cheerful! Our server was fun and helpful. We ordered several tapas dishes which were delicious plus red sangria. I think next time I’ll have a margarita which can be ordered by the pitcher! Great for a group. My favorite dish was the empanadas and my husband’s was the octopus! We’ll go back soon. I forgot to mention their Happy Hour offerings were nice and they also offer $1 oysters on Sundays, I believe. Not sure about other days. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Visited Esteban on Mother's Day for Dinner. Looked like they had a special brunch for Mother's Day. It wasn't busy for dinner. Enjoyed everything. Would get a paella with seafood next time which would probably have more flavor. We really loved the Brussels and I ate all the crust from my son's pizza. The bread was so good. We found street parking easily on a Sunday night.

Location and hospitality

Consistent, high quality of all tapas and main meals.

Beautiful room, comfortable bed, great location and excellent staff!

Terrific food and outstanding service. A delightful evening.

Beautiful, and quiet property. The room was very charming and clean.

Went here for my bday weekend dinner and was seated in their back patio, which was really cute. The weather was mild so it was a great time to be outside enjoying the warm sun. Everything we tried was amazing so I highly recommend the bravas potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and the chicken paella. They also have a veggie paella option so check that out! We also had their red sangrias which was refreshing! Definitely worth checking this place out and the food portions were huge for a tapas food place! The service was prompt and friendly as well!

We loved everything about the place! The view from our room was beautiful! We will be back again!
